Elfstrom Your Garden Even the tiniest garden can con tain a maximum of beauty and com fort as long as you ve a little grass, and a few shrubs. Just spread the color on with a lavish hand-some artificial and seme supplied by na ture. Even if its onlv the back yard of limited scope that the big city dwell er proudly calls a garden, the little plot can be a garden Indeed. Of course, there's the big essential -flowers. If the earth Isn't right for rnising them just grow them in pots potted plants are "right", even for the most formal and sumptuous of gardens. And then paint those pots in bright colorful coats of enamel -blue, yellow, white, green, pink, pur plewhat you will. And of course there's that other necessity-R place to sit and enjoy the summer breezes und watch things grow. An old wicker chair repainted to blend in with those flower pots, with colorful waterproof cushions. And here's a tip passed on from good authority. A grand way to repaint wicker furniture Is to rill a cleaned out Flit gun with enamel and then spray away. It's as much fun as spraying potato bugs off the vines, and it's Just as efflctent-the enamel will get into every crevice and every crack. Then there's the ever-popular deck chair, bright and cheerful with the same enamel eoat. Next, an old table in a new coat of color, for the odds and ends of unbreakable ash trays, glasses of lemonade, and so on. Or you can make a perfpctlv grand tea table out of an old wheelbarrow.

It's as attractive a piece of garden furniture a you could rind in the shops. Even dirt, and grime, rain and storm can't hurt this furniture-the enamel takes to water as to a brother and comes forth as clean, fresh and true-colored as the day you put it on. Even critical eyes would look at your little garden spot with envy and admiration alter a work-out of this sort, and it will cost you hardlv anv-thin.fr-just the price of the enamel and a bit of your time, effort and Ingenuity, WOODCRAFT THIMBLE CLUB ENTERTAINED Silverton The Neighbors of Woodcraft Thimble club members were guests of Mrs. Del Bowcn Thursday afternoon at her home, Visitors present were Mrs. Roy Keene.
